Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Ecclefechan

Ecclefechan heads this Windsor Class 6 contest over a mile on good-to-firm ground narrowly ahead of Berkshire Boom on ratings, and the form behind suggests the selection is well-placed to make that edge count. Berkshire Boom and Sup Of Red represent the most credible dangers in a competitive enough six-runner field, with Torbados also worth keeping onside, but none of them look likely to overturn the gap at the top. Ecclefechan is the play.
